Sculpted in 1978 by Chris Hess, this mold has been popular with Breyer collectors for 25 years. With his flashy new paint job, he's sure to make an appearance at many collector shows. His calm walking pose makes him a good choice for beginning showers interested in performance classes.

Recommended for ages 8 and up, he's sure to find his way to Barbie's pasture, as well as the show ring. It is important to remember, however, that because he is hand painted he is likely to suffer a few "rubs" and scratches in the hands of smaller collectors. While his legs are a bit thicker than the smaller sized models, they will snap with enough pressure.

For a great gift idea, wrap him up with a book from the Thoroughbred or Saddle Club series.

Sculpted in 1969 by Chris Hess, this mold has been used to represent a number of famous Quarter Horse and Paint horses over the years. His alert expression and solid lines have made him a favorite with collectors for over 30 years.

As with all Breyers, the hand painted finish will suffer a few "rubs" and scratches in the hands of younger collectors, but his sturdy legs and solid tail tend to hold up well. This makes him a good choice for the lower end of the "Ages 8 and up" group and a nice first piece for any horse-crazy boy or girl.

Paired with the "DK Horse and Pony Book," this beauty makes a great gift for the horse lover in your life.
